      just received 7M of firewood

      What in the fuck is that?

      In ‘Murcia we measure ranks of wood by the cord.

      1 cord of wood = 4’ x 4’ x 8’ stacked = 128 cubic feet.

      Though if it is cut and split, you use something like 110 or 120 cubic feet as a cord.

      I haven’t been a pseudo lumberjack since 1991.

      hahaha, bloody idiot. 7 metres cubed.
      since I'm working from home my wife stacked it 👍 👍

      WOW - that's a lot!

              Yeah, grew up always measuring in cords.

                Just stood up a PiHole5. Redoing the entire local network is a pain, even for my home lab. So many things.

                  We never measured it in Kentucky. Once we had the large shed filled up we knew we had enough for the coming winter. Btw my dad is 77 and still goes out to cut his own firewood and split it back home. Hope Im doing that good by then.

                        So at this point, literally everyone I know in Nebraska has been exposed. Admittedly a small cross section, but as the hard stance "no lockdown" state, doesn't seem to have avoided the infections like they expected.

                          You're not wrong.. And they're reopening everything.
                          It's ridiculous, but.. Oh well.

                            The lockdown was never about avoiding infections, it was about slowing it down so as not to overwhelm the healthcare system, which is currently wide open - in fact in some places they are actually furloughing nurses, and staff because they patient load is so low, they don't need the staff.
                            Of course, Nebraska has reopened to elective surgeries as of last week, so I'm guessing many of those furloughed have been brought back.

                                That's unrelated to the overwhelmed hospitals issue. The ERs that are overwhelmed are not the ones that are laying people off. This is, again, repeating obvious fake news. People ARE being laid off, but they aren't medical workers with any way to help with the COVID crisis. NY, for example, was way, way, way beyond overwhelmed and was laying off doctors and nurses because the facilities are overwhelmed, not the people.

                                Here in Dallas, we can't provide basic medical care, yet we're actively closing hospitals. The one doesn't explain the other. Don't conflate the ideas.

                                  That seems unlikely, Nebraska has so much ER capacity that they aren't treated those in need or helping all the other neighbouring states that lack capacity?

                                    I have no idea where you came up with the stance that we were expecting to avoid the infections.

                                    While we didn't have as hard a lock down as many states, many non essential businesses were in fact closed - movie theaters/barbers(hair salons)/dine in restaurants/tatoo parlars. I'm not sure if non essential manufacturing was closed or not, not that we have a lot of that here. Luckily, I think we are mostly either white collar or service industry here, not much typical blue collar (construction being an obvious exemption).

                                      That's a key part of the social distancing. Trying to make it so that the vulnerable don't get infected at all - either by waiting out the clock and herd immunity arriving, or by a vaccine arriving. The rest of the country isn't just trying to flatten the curve, but also trying to reduce the area under it.
